[NTG-context] Problem with Figures
From the beginner's manual, I created the following:
\starttext
\useexternalfigure
[Photo][hass03g]
[width=.4\textwidth]
\useexternalfigure
[Graphic][gracht]
[width=.4\textwidth]
\placefigure
[here,force]
[fig:canal]
{The Hasselt Canals.}
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[Photo]} {a bitmap picture}
{\externalfigure[Graphic]} {a vector graphic}
\stopcombinatie
\stoptext
I typed the input file exactly as in the manual. I am getting the following
error:
! Missing { inserted.
\let
\noshowargumenterror ->\let
\expectedarguments \noexpectedarguments
\dodoubleempty #1->\noshowargumenterror

l.13 \startcombination

?

Dear posse,
I am having trouble with footnotes. For an article, I want some footnotes to
be symbolized by \ast, \dag, etc, but without affecting the numbering of

symbolized by \ast, but the first footnote in the main text should still be
symbolized by `1' (then `2', etc). I tried localfootnotes but I could not get
them placed in the footer at the bottom of the page. [location=page] did not
help.
\starttext

\chapter{test\myfootnote{test}}

\stoptext
since you're the footnote guy, collect such things on a todo list; later
i may consider adding support for cloned notes with different settings,
something:
\definenote[myfootnote][footnote]
\setupnote[myfootnote][conversion=set 2]
trivial to implement but i'm in a hurry now
Related question: can't I just specify a footnote outside the counting
mechanism with any symbol I want at any point in the text, without disturbing
the regular counted footnotes?
I'm also confused by the conversion key. page 93 of the documentation reads:
"With the variable conversion you set up the type of numbering. You may even
use your own character, for example an emdash (keyed in as ---)."
But if I do, e.g., conversion={---}, TeX complains of course. What am I
missing?
Related questions:
Where are the conversion keys set 2, set 3, etc. documented?
core-con.tex
it's a generic mechanism to map number on symbols or anything you want
(see metafun manual for example of mapping onto graphics)
How can I reset the numbering if I make local changes? For example, I am using
regular default footnotes, then I switch to conversion=set 2, then I want to
reset to the default footnotes without losing my numbering. I thought that
[n=0] etc. might help but that key seems to affect the paragraph formatting of
the footnotes, not the numbering. I tried using \start-\stop but that does not
isolate the counting mechanism apparently.
numbering is global (makes sense sinc you use footnotes local)
Fighting TeX is really frustrating sometimes, and I'm sure the answers are
really simple...
\let\incrementnumber\verhoognummer
\let\decrementnumber\verlaagnummer
\resetnumber[footnote]
\decrementnumber[footnote]
\incrementnumber[footnote]
remind me to internationalize those commands -)
\unexpanded\def\myfootnote#1%
{\setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2]\footnote{#1}\decrementnumber[footnote]}
\chapter{test\myfootnote{test}}
test \footnote{test} test

[NTG-context] continuous numbering over components?
Hi, I have a project containing products containing components.

Re: [NTG-context] a problem with \defineprotrudefactor
i've been messing around with that because thanh is updating his stuff; i need to handle both hz and protruding and more -) I must ask: would this mean adding Context support for the font expansion mentioned in his thesis? I've wanted to experiment with that but as far as I can tell it has previously required too much (for me) font manipulation outside of tex. -Bill It is true that generating extended font metrics (e.g. cmr10+5.tfm) was a bit deterrent thing for pdfTeX users. It was the reason that Thanh enabled (some months ago) use hz WITHOUT a need of generating extended metrics. But there was some problems with this pdftex version so it coused some delay. Now I believe it will be reflected in ConTeXt support. (I do not know what Hans thinks by "and more" but I reckon he means some code clean up).
